Baseball America on Dan Hudson

Team: Double-A Birmingham (Southern)Age: 22Why He’s Here: 2-0, 0.00, 14 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 17 KThe Scoop: Hudson started the season in low Class A, but at this rate he could make a case for getting to Triple-A before the season is over. The 2008 fifth-rounder out of Old Dominion is working on a 20-inning scoreless streak and has allowed no earned runs in five of his eight Double-A starts. Hudson’s delivery isn’t the cleanest—he tends to throw across his body, but there is no arguing with the results.
